Mount Avalon

"A nice sunny day in the mountains. Zero degrees at the trailhead but around 20 atop the ridge. But no wind was a really nice deal. Not quite enough snow to wear snowshoes on all the terrain. So some shoes and some spikes. Great views from Willey, Field and Avalon." — Alohabuffy • Dec 19, 2020

"Couldn't have asked for a better first hiking trip into the Whites. Everything was perfect from the mountains to the weather and especially the company. I will be returning and I will be returning often." — Right-On • Aug 1, 2020

"2 semaines solo de pure plaisir à faire du hiking à différentes places dont les Whites Moutains. Pour cette série je voulais faire Avalon, Willey, Field et ensuite arriver sur Tom pour le coucher du soleil. La journée était parfait pour cela. Aucun nuage, ni rien! Et finalement, à mon arriver sur Tom, des gros nuages se sont mis de la partie. Donc je suis repartis sans avoir de photo de coucher de soleil.... Mais j'ai mes 4 sommets! :) " — fsoucy76 • Sep 27, 2018

"AH - MAZING day in the whites! No clouds...just sun and no wind either! Throw in feeding the gray jays and we were happy as pigs in slop. Got Tom, Field and Willey on the books for April." — shay-shay • Apr 23, 2018

"Nice winter day, near 30 at base of mountains. Hiked up the Avalon Trail to Avalon, then up to Mt. Field and over to Tom. Lots of packed snow on trail, mirco spikes up to Avalon and Mt. Field. From Field to Mt. Tom put on snowshoes." — blackwolf_03278 • Feb 19, 2018

"It has been a long time since I last summited Avalon. So I detoured over to do it. Forgot the precise details of the view, so it was nice to be back. From here, went back to my car." — newenglandwarrior • Nov 9, 2017

"Windy at base then beautiful hike thru the spruces. Spikes the whole way. Broke trail up the very steep last half mile. Kick,step,plant, over and over. Snow held off til back at the car!" — goshen-bagger • Jan 27, 2017

"A very wet day hiking up to hit tom, field and avalon....the snow was steaming and created quite a fog! We hit Avalon first, and didn't get any views due to the heavy clouds and then went to Field. As I hit the summit and went to the side I saw the most incredible view! The presidential all open with an undercast below...by the second the clouds were rolling in...it was amazing! We then enjoyed lunch with the gray jays!! After the most incredible lunch break we finished up the loop on foggy Tom and headed back to Crawfords. An amazing day in the clouds!" — shay-shay • Jan 22, 2017

"Picture perfect day in the Whites! Took the Avalon trail (don't skip Avalon - it's a fantastic summit) to the Willey Range Trail to the A-Z Trail (and Mt. Tom Spur Trail). This was a great way to hike these 4 peaks (instead of just an out & back)." — PJSelmer • Jul 24, 2016

"I spent my birthday with the White Mountains! WAY colder today than yesterday, though I was still THAT GUY wearing shorts today, despite much colder temperatures, some strong gusts of wind, and fresh snow on the ground! What can I say, it's just motivation to keep me moving! Beautiful sunny day to be out hiking!" — matt-beard • Nov 8, 2015
